Question

Each of the continents moves at a different rate and in a different direction. Based on this observation, do you believe that any of the modern continents will recombine to form a new supercontinent in the future? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes, modern continents could recombine to form a new supercontinent. Because the continents move at different rates and in different directions, it’s likely that in the future, continents will collide and join together.

Answer 2

Supercontinent is a single landmass formed by the combination of many Earth's continental blocks or cratons.

Supercontinents form and split up every 400 or 500 million years and the last supercontinent was formed 300 million years ago, so it is possible that any of the modern continents will combine together to form a new supercontinent in future.
